Roadmap meeting

Please add your own wishlist here, we would review these topics during the meeting, Order has no meaning.

Dec 05 2011 : 7pm UTC on #theforeman (Freenode)

Important Issues to review

  • Mcollective integration
  • Pulp Admin integration
  • Parameterized classes support (#832)
  • Controlling the BMC through IPMI
    • control boot order
    • power controls
  • Remove dependency of virt in foreman
    • make a more generic layer that allows for any 3rd party virtualization tools (ovirt, virt, libvirt, aws, fog, ...)
  • ESX support
  • Ruby version support
  • create external service for 3rd party tools
    • wrapper service that acts as the middle man to talk to foreman and 3rd party tools
    • Can handle compatibility better
    • Better security
      • Security related issues, that so far have been handled outside Foreman, like restricting who can POST Reports and Facts. Ideally Foreman should handle them. #1169
  • Password Encryption
  • DB data versioning (Templates, parameters, etc - possibility to revert to a previous state)
  • Cloud provisioning and unattended access/security related (#969)
  • Audits to Hostgroups/Classes/Parameters/Provisioning should have be displayed on the Dashboard, perhaps with some Visualization?
  • host roles that were originally possible with puppet before adding the ENC. Roles can be assigned to host or hostgroups with a (many-to-many) relationship.
  • Full working unattended installations via proxy
  • Support NonSql Databases (redis,mongo...)
  • Add scheduling #1249
  • Discuss about new UI in Foreman (from 0.3 -> 0.4) - Fixed size columns ...

Organizational topics

  • Git and Release maintenance
  • Packaging
  • Puppet-Foreman deployment recipes - Isolate namespace (as in : http://bit.ly/sFabPs) ? Or not ?
  • Bug/Feature reviews

Dec 05 2011 : Report :

Mcollective

  1. functionality exposed in UI :
  • simple action : puppet kicks, services management
  • handled by proxy
  • optional

Pulp / Katello

  • Relation with Foreman should be more precise
  • Katello doesn't support non RPM disto
  • Maybe we could try a simple repo management
  • Functionnality wished :
    • Assigning repo to host
    • Pull updated
  • Mainly UI work

BMC support

Remove virt dependency

  • Can not talk to 'a cloud'
  • Dividing system into :
    • Physical
    • Virtual
  • Major code refactoring
  • Remove dependency on a particular gem and have 3d party integration (libvirt, virt, fog, ec2, ovirt)
